will be doing my Heater Core flush next week using same 3 days driving process and Prestone radiator cleaner. Will change the in and out hoses to the heater core to make water flow into opposite direction as well !!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the video
Thank you for making this video. I'm doing my flush today. I will use the Prestone Flushing Kit as it seems to make this flush and future ones easier. I'll write this in my car's manual showing the date and the products I used. When doing an engine flush, it's also an excellent time for inspecting the hoses.
Another question: when you add the Prestone before driving the car 3 days, how to make sure that 1 bottle is a sufficient amount of fluid? Check with the manual how much coolant the car requires?
Yes it's good and I do that sometimes, but showing that for someone who never did that before, if a small rock states in, they will have a problem, so better to use cleaner and be safe
In the e-tec 2 16v engine you fill the radiator through the reservoir? I usually fill the system through the radiator cap. + It seems like you use very little water and coolant. My car has a capacity of 14l
Did you not bother draining the radiator petcock? Or the coolant bolt on engine block? If not you did not completely flush the system. You got maybe 80% of coolant & your flushing 4 times but you still have old coolant that didn't come out.
I heard that you're only suppose to keep the cleaner for a max of 4hours in your engine or it can damage it. people seem to leave it for days tho until they hit about 100mi or so. Is this safe and more effective? I'm talking about the newer version of the prestone cleaner: prestone total cooling system cleaner.
@@freedompioneer4311 yeah, I found that kinda excessive as well and possibly detrimental to an engine too. Perhaps they meant to say that they ran the cleaner with water for 100mi in one go to clean the engine good? The instructions say to run it 15-20mi at idle around 2krpm
Hi I own FIAT AVVENTURA 1.4 PETROL now I want to radiator flush but 🤔 3.26 minutes ---- you mean without coolant add I can drive for three days only with priston flush and distilled water ?
I had to laugh when you drained the fluid and tried to get it in the drip pan. Most of it ran down the street. Good job showing the process. I only have two gallons of distilled water so I’m going to use regular water, but my final rinse will be with distilled.
hey how much driving is required per day, if you don't mind me asking. there was another video where someone mentioned having to drive for 300 miles, is this accurate? do I need to put 300 miles on the vehicle for a clean?
Good Afternoon my friend and nice to meet you! Are you able to do a video showing how to flush a radiator, engine and heater core? I have an old 2003 vehicle.
Tap water stays working in my car for five years, I use filter water to strain out the manmade bleach which causes corrosion. the hot air that comes running out of my vent is 140 degrees
So after draining the distilled water you add the 22 oz bottle of Prestone Flush Cleaner alone for 3 days? Or do you also add distilled water to fill up the system? You didn’t say. I want to do this right. I don’t want my car to overheat 🥴
Why flush with distilled water each time? Why not save money by flushing the first three times with tap water and only flush with distilled water on the fourth flush? Oh, where does one buy distilled water?
2:35 .. you DO want it to get hot to open the thermostat AND run the heater blower to flush out the old coolant in the heater core near the glove box
Excellent tutorial bro, may Allah give you long life and great health 👍🏽
Thanks, same to you

Bro you just super duper flushed full system great work 👍👍👍
Yes, thanks
Good results with cleaning, i like your videos, straight to point, thanks
Thanks for watching
Great video, thanks!...Thorough and concise....I just wonder how much of this process I would get if I get a "flush" at my local gas station mechanic
Another excellent informative video from Ali! Covers all the details.
Well done.
Thanks, John 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Excellent thanks brother and more, about is it normal for Turbo engine to reach 80_90 C ?
Need your advice
What about the flush/cleaner/water mixture that remained on the other side of the thermostat? Do you consider that negligible contamination?
Another question: when you add the Prestone before driving the car 3 days, how to make sure that 1 bottle is a sufficient amount of fluid? Check with the manual how much coolant the car requires?
It says to add 1 bottle then top off with water.
Great inforamtve upload many thanks.
Thanks Bina 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Finally a coolant system that looks like the car I just got
Good video, I liked the rock cleaning method(great idea) cheers.
Yes it's good and I do that sometimes, but showing that for someone who never did that before, if a small rock states in, they will have a problem, so better to use cleaner and be safe

Is Prestone a good radiator cleaner? It seems stronger than the Liquid-Moly radiator cleaner.
Nice tutorial man, do you use distilled water or demineralized water for the cleaning process? Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Es lo mismo viejo, solo cambia como lo llaman, el agua destilada es lo mismo que el agua desmineralizada.
@@javieraampuerod69 muchas gracias
Thanks from vietnam 👍
You welcome
Will this method work with any car?? My car is Honda accord 2006 2.4 litre v4 is the method similar?? Btw very detailed video 💯 👍
Thanks, yes it will be similar presses for most of cars
What is your thoughts on using rain water (Yes, I'm that cheap) as opposed to distilled water in a cooling system?
if u want to make distilled water, just boil a water and condensate the vapor
if there was a rainbow then you can use such water.
So instead of rocks and sand mixture, why not use rice? We use it when cleaning vases and other containers with too small of a neck to clean
I haven't use it, but if it works, that's safer
Did you not bother draining the radiator petcock? Or the coolant bolt on engine block? If not you did not completely flush the system. You got maybe 80% of coolant & your flushing 4 times but you still have old coolant that didn't come out.
Great Video! But I need to replace my Radiator, so should I clean it with the new or the old one before I install? the old one is getting rusty
I would clean it with the old one, so the block & heater core don't deposit any scale/sediment in the new radiator.
If it's too rusty, clean it with the old one,
@@AliMECH @ArgosySpecOps Thank you guys very much :-)
You are welcome

@@smartdummy5751 I just did a coolant system slush and I just let it idle for 10 minutes and it seemed to get it pretty clean
Dont you have to remove thermostat on distilled flushing?
I didn't, but if you do, it will be so much better
Hi
I own FIAT AVVENTURA 1.4 PETROL now I want to radiator flush but 🤔 3.26 minutes ---- you mean without coolant add I can drive for three days only with priston flush and distilled water ?
I used rice and it had the same effect. The reservoir is clean now.

Yes its 300 miles, but mine was about 300 miles, 260 I think
I just said goodbye to wife and kids as I will be driving for 3 days.
Is it possible (reliable) to test the pH value of the old coolant then pH value below or near 7 as a sign to replace coolant?
Yes there is a device that measures ph levels, but whenever I see the coolant changed color, I flush it

Great video tutorial!!👍

the rock trick is pretty cool

Hello, I did this video as well ruclips.net/video/R_IBAIpqPIA/видео.html it will clean the radiator and also the heater core

Tap water stays working in my car for five years, I use filter water to strain out the manmade bleach which causes corrosion. the hot air that comes running out of my vent is 140 degrees
Great video thx Brother
Thanks for watching brother
Alhamdulillah for our health...
Thanks, same to you
Does running the car with only water and the cleaner for 3 days won’t harm the engine?
Its distilled water, not gonna oxidize
I have the same car. How many Liters of coolant did it consumed? Thanks for answering
Not sure exactly, but I think it was about 6 liters
Driving with water for 3 days won't damage the engine???
That was some great content
Thanks for watching
So after draining the distilled water you add the 22 oz bottle of Prestone Flush Cleaner alone for 3 days? Or do you also add distilled water to fill up the system? You didn’t say. I want to do this right. I don’t want my car to overheat 🥴
Look up Chrisfix channel for coolant super flush that’ll help you out
Kevin, yes I added flush cleaner with filling the rest with distilled water and drive it for 3 days
Many in YT use Prestone. Is it indeed option nr1?
it worked good for cleaning, but you can just use desilted water if you dont see gunk or any dirt inside the radiator
@@AliMECH thank you. I bought my 2012 car 4 years ago, I'm pretty sure cleaning won't hurt :)
thank you ali
your frind from libya
You are welcome, respect to libya ✌
Why flush with distilled water each time? Why not save money by flushing the first three times with tap water and only flush with distilled water on the fourth flush?
Oh, where does one buy distilled water?
Any grocery store
why not connect a flush kit?
Ali do you mean that you have to drive the car constantly for 3 days?.... That's allot of driving
Yes, normal daily driving
Yes, daily driving or one day if you travel ,or you can run the engine for 10 minutes
Could you just do it all on the same day? Instead of packing and unpacking all your tools?
Yes, flushing for 10 minutes, run the engine and flush it again and then fill it up with radiator coolant
If I do the deep clean method for 3 days in the winter can I mix the Prestone Flush cleaner with coolant so it doesn't freeze?
Yes, thats a great idea, but try to mix it with new coolant, so you can see the color changing difference
PERFECT
Thanks
I was wondering if you removed thermostat so that the water will flow without it reaching temperature for the thermostat to open?
That's a good ways too, I did that on my camry ruclips.net/video/R_IBAIpqPIA/видео.html
I couldn't get clear water after running 15 gallons of distilled water to rinse the cooling system. Surely my cooling system isn't that dirty.
شكرا علي
🙏🏻
Where are u from?
A+
🙏
I used Coca Cola to My Vw for flushing coolant
If u do so
Pls make video tp others
Insyaallah pahala
I will try that bro

Insyaallah
Your radiator-hoses blown up. Need to change it mate
